Young Children's Understanding of Realities, Nonrealities, and Appearances.
Woolley, Jacqueline D.; Wellman, Henry M.
Child Development, v61 n4 p946-61 Aug 1990
Analysis of natural language data from children up to six years of age revealed that by the third year, children clearly distinguished between reality and a variety of nonreal contrasts in their everyday speech. An experimental study in which children were questioned about the reality and appearance of a variety of items confirmed findings of the natural language study. (RH)
